Why Windows Can’t Be Installed On A Mac With A Powerpc Processors Like G3, G4, And G5?

Even with bootcamp, wine, vmware, or any other emulation software.

    Make up your mind… PC or MAC; or get BOTH. If you want a MAC, then don’t WRECK IT with PC stuff. If you really want a PC, then buy one. For under $500, you will have a nice one.
    PC hardware is fairly complicated. Emulation would be slow, and often a poor imitation of the real thing. A real PC has many legacy hardware additions; some which are not used anymore. Even Windows Vista does a poor emulation of what Windows 3.1 could do. A part of this incompatibility and loss of legacy is what KILLED OS/2 and other attempts to duplicate a real PC.
    Even today, some machine controllers that were based on the IBM AT architecture can’t be duplicated. So these machines have to be rebuilt on old standby motherboards.
    Some innovations only make the landfill full of DEAD computers. More laws should be passed to ensure that computers are supported for much longer times; so the junk yard is not inundated with this old junk. We are talking about toxins, like lead and mercury. We are just now reducing lead and mercury in the manufacture of computers.
    Good luck and Happy Computing!
